Getting
into ready position Nemo awaited the strange visitor to appear.He was going to give them a chance to explain
themselves and what they wanted and if they seemed hostile he would
knock them
out and turn them in to HQ.

Maybe, Nemo
thought, the person was sent from Viktor to apprehend him.Viktor for some particular reason wanted to
take Nemo in to his lab for tests, and was very determined to capture
him last
mission.Whispering to Tsuki Nemo
asked,
"What did you notice when the human appeared...?"

Tsuki who
was hesitant to speak at all because she was still worried about what
was going
on said, "Yoru and I were about to leave when we noticed a sudden warm
draft that came out of nowhere and all of a sudden a bright light
flashed and
out stepped the human from the light...."

"What
kind of technology is that," Nemo thought to himself."Almost sounds like the matter
transporter, but yet not."

Keeping his
full attention onto the opening to the closet, he held a tranquilizer
gun in
one hand, a small but powerful taser in the hand and around him on the
floor,
other equipment, just in case the first two pieces of equipment failed.Nemo could not risk the human escaping and
telling about anything they had seen or knew about him and his team, so
far.

Thinking
better, just in case they had guns, Nemo hissed at Tsuki,
"Catch."Nemo threw the
tranquilizer gun at her and told her to hide."We're
going to hide and when they appear, we will ambush
them if
they have weapons or guns."Reaching
around to one of the pieces of equipment on the
floor, he
picked it up and also threw it at Tsuki, "Give this to Yoru..."

Turning
around, Nemo dashed to the edge of one of the outcropping walls and
peered
carefully around the corner to get a better look, but also to have a
better
chance to shoot the taser.

Listening
to the person climb, Nemo could hear them straining.

Before any
of the cats knew what was happening a human’s face popped out from the
hole....though it was distorted in a grimace as they strained.Quickly noting that it was a female in her
late teen years, she flung one of her arms out of the hole to steady
herself
and then pulled herself up out of the closet’s hole.Noticing that she was carrying a little boy
on her back, Nemo watched as she stained to finally pull both of them
out of
the hole and stand on the ground.Keeping
very distinct respect towards the boy, she
carefully let him
down by releasing the leg she had been holding with one of her hands,
not the
one she had been using to climb, while holding one of the boy’s hands
that were
curled around her neck and bending her knees down to let him stand on
the
floor.Looking at the boy, Nemo was
shocked and pulled in by the pure blue eyes that seemed to pierce his
very
heart and mind.

Immediately
seeing where Nemo was, without hesitation, the boy turned his attention
to him,
during which the boy continued to hold a relaxed but poised expression.
The boy
oddly looked to be ten years old at most Nemo decided.

Taking his
eyes from the boy, he stepped back, Nemo was not sure what to think of
the two
humans that had appeared.He had been
expecting an adult, of which he could easily question and apprehend,
but these
were young humans.Plus the boy made him
feel comfortable and yet uneasy.The
eyes seemed to pull at the back of his mind; a dark past hidden deep
within the
folds of the memories that Nemo knew could not be remembered.

Taking a
deep breath, as they were both not moving from where they were and the
human
female was busy rummaging through a bag , that was a backpack, that she
had had
on one of her shoulders.Nemo stood
quietly watching and anylyzing them, as he was unsure of what to do.Finally turning her gaze on the room around
her, she sighed."Well it seems we
hit another dead end sir.I was one
hundred percent sure that was his energy wave code, but just like the
last
ones, nothing has turned up.I am sure
if it was him, that he would be waiting for us."She reached up and drew back her brown hair
out of her face and dried the sweat that was pouring down it."This stupid place has too much
interference with radio waves, electrical equipment and junk."Seeing that the girl wore a hooded cape that
draped across her simple blue jeans and covered her flannel T-shirt,
Nemo was
unsure as to their motives.They looked
like they were on the run from someone, or something and preferred
secrecy.

Looking at
the boy Nemo noticed that he acknowledged her speaking, by looking up
at her,
but did not say anything.But Nemo was
confused
as to why the boy had not told her about his hiding place, as he knew
that the
boy had seen him.

Pulling one
of the objects from her backpack she laid it onto the floor.Gasping Nemo recognized it as the puzzle
box
that he had just solved in the vault."It
is just strange that someone was able to randomly
place all of
the squares into place.Thankfully
though, we were able to find most of his important equipment."Continuing to pull things out, she unattached
a sword and several other things, of which were all from the vault.

"I
wonder what kind of place this is," the female said, obviously
referring
to the house and the closet, as she began to place them in a specific
order in
her back pack."I've seen similar
places, but that storage facility down there was a complete mess.And it just doesn't make sense that all of
his stuff would be down there locked up but he would not be around."She turned her eyes towards the stairs, as to
note the fact that they were inside a residential house."I swear these HQ outposts are
strange.I imagine the agents are hiding
around here somewhere, but we had better leave before the people who
live here
wake up."She turned to head down
the ladder again, while waiting for the boy, who was not moving, to get
on her
back.

Finally
gaining his courage Nemo stepped around the corner holding the taser up
and
demanded, "Who are you and what gave you the right to steal my
equipment?"

"Finally,”
she sighed, "Someone steps from the shadow.I
thought no one would show up."

She began
to turn around, but Nemo barked, "Don't move.Answer
my question first."Tsuki, of which had
emerged from her hiding
place stood a little ways behind Nemo also holding her gun forward.The human boy just stood there next to the
human, without a single expression of worry or fear.

The human
girl sighed, "I am just looking for an old friend."Nemo waited for her to explain more, but she
said nothing else.

"Who
is this friend," Nemo inquired "and what does he have to do with my
equipment?"

"You
probably wouldn't know him.He went
missing about ten years ago."She
continued, "He is a cat that, by legend, is invincible and was told to
have apprehended an entire army by himself, but I know him as a kind
caring,
yet justice driven individual.His name
is whispered among those who have heard of his fame, but I know him by
personal
acquaintance."

Nemo
questioningly looked at the human girl and laughed, "Defeated an entire
army?"He queried, "I am
sorry, but I do not know any cat that could do that."Thinking about it though, the thought made
sense as to why Tenalt and Viktor would want the equipment of such a
creature
that could do that.

"I
see,” she said, while turning to look at the boy."Then
we shall leave and not bother you
any longer."She motioned for the
boy to come over, but he did not move and continued to stare at Nemo.

Cringing,
Nemo felt that he wanted to shrink from before his sight and hide, as
the eyes
that seemed so critical and cutting, pierced once more into his mind
and heart.

Seeing that
the boy was not coming to her she called, "Sir, it is time to leave, we
need to not bother them..."her
voice trailed off as the boy did not move an inch, or even acknowledge
her
speaking.Glancing over her shoulder to
the direction of the boy she was not sure what to do.As she looked at the boy, she finally turned
her gaze in the direction of his and gasped.

"It
can't be," she exclaimed.She fully
turned around, pulled back her hood, and took a step forward," After
all
of these years; all of this searching and time spent, we finally find
you?!"

Nemo turned
to see if she was talking about someone else, but Tsuki had since gone
back
into hiding, and he was alone.This
situation felt awkward and somehow unbelievable.Though
Nemo could not confirm his past, he
KNEW that he had not defeated an army.Holding
the taser once more up at her, he commanded, "I
told you to
not move!!!"He could not let them
get away with the equipment that HQ had commanded him to keep track of.

The human
girl looked confused, "...You don't remember us Nemo?"

Nemo
flinched as she had said his name without a pause, but still felt this
was some
kind of ploy set up by Viktor to capture him and the equipment he had
stolen...though he was still unsure how they were able to teleport
directly
into his vault.

"You
can see that we tell the truth Nemo, “She said, “You should know us,
especially
me.We worked together, you me and your
sister.”

Pulsing
inside his mind, Nemo felt a faint twinge try to yank itself from the
darkness
of his past, but like a stubborn nail, it did not want to pull out.

"I
see,” the human said after getting no expected results from Nemo."Either someone must have done something
to you, or you might have been hurt in the accident.But in both circumstances," she picked
up the sword off of the ground that she had acquired from Nemo's vault
and
tossed it at him.Watching it land in
front of Nemo, Nemo looked up to her as she pulled another sword from
her
cloak.Strangely both the swords looked
similar and had the same quasi-Japanese set-up.

Still
holding the taser gun in her direction, the human noticed it and said,
"Put
that down, it will be no use against this weapon."She lightly flicked her sword, and Nemo
almost caught her moving but called out in surprise as the gun he was
holding broke
apart into pieces.

Looking
back to Tsuki and Yoru, they both did not move from their hiding
positions, but
Nemo also had heard them call out when she had flicked her sword.With that discovered, Nemo knew all he had
left was the equipment Tsuki and Yoru had strewn about and the sword
that had
been thrown to him.Not wanting to use
such foreighn equipment, Nemo carefully stepped back and dived for
another
taser gun.Twirling around, he pointed
it at the girl and pulled the trigger.Without
knowing what happened, the trigger broke and the
gun, just like
before, had broken into pieces as she barely moved.

The human
smiled friendly at him, "I can also see that you cannot remember common
sense.Even if it is hard for you to
believe and remember me, I am powerful...and only the true Nemo could
defeat
me."She held her sword poised and
forward waiting for Nemo to make his move.Lost
of anything to do, but to do as she said and get the
sword; Nemo shimmied
over to it, keeping his eyes on the girl, and carefully picked the
sword up.

"Finally,"
she stated, "lets get down to business.But
first, she held out her hand and dropped a small peice
of equipment
onto the floor.Activating, it flashed
and immediately surrounded the room with a barrier."This," she commented as
surprisingly she suddenly shrunk down to Nemo’s size, "is to protect
the
house and also to change my size so that at least while you are trying
to
remember, I will take it easy on you.The
barrier is set up because these battles can get scary.Especially scary if you start to remember who
you once were and don’t control it."She
then motioned towards where Tsuki and Yoru were hiding."You two," she commanded, "go
and hide inside the closet and watch over him." She pointed towards the
boy.

Tsuki was
the first to poke her head out, seeing as that she had been spotted.Turning her questioning eyes at Nemo, he
nodded to her and in his nod told her that he figured everything would
be
ok.Nemo did not trust the girl, but
could trust the boy.

Sheepishly
crawling from his hiding place Yoru crept up behind Tsuki and followed
her to
the boys side and eventually down into the hole.Filing
into place, the human girl closed the
door behind them.Hearing it lock into
place Nemo began to get worried.This
girl was powerful and simple tricks that he had gotten by with Viktor
and
Tenalt would not defeat this girl.The
only thing he had to rely upon was the dreams and nightmares that
taunted him
and had helped him that one time with Viktor.

Awkwardly
holding the sword up, Nemo balanced it and looked over at the girl.
Seeing that
she was ready and in fighting position, he carefully watched her as she
suddenly dashed forward with sword poised.This
is not going to be a typical HQ mission battle
tonight.

Stepping
back Nemo began to panic, but out of nowhere an image of the same
attack that
she was doing came into his mind.Nemo
gasped for breath, as he had been holding it, and immediately executed
an
attack to counter her advance.

Throwing
her off balance, she stumbled behind Nemo, but quickly turned around
and leapt
at him again.Much in the same way that
Viktor was apprehended, Nemo had another image come to his mind from
one of his
dreams, and he immediately jumped into the air.Bringing
his sword between his knees, it struck at the
girl as he went
over her.

Blocking
the attempt at the attack, she spun around and struck at Nemo, as they
were both
still in reaching distance.

Grabbing
the back side of his sword, seeing that it had only one side that was
sharp,
Nemo held onto the hilt and the back and shoved the blow to the side.Continuing in motion, he jumped off of the
wall, and led a normally devastating kick into the girl.

Flung back,
she tumbled to the ground and landed into one of the piles of junk
lying
around.Stunned she smiled and quickly
drew her hair behind her head in a ponytail.Standing
up as if it had not even fazed her, she lunged at
Nemo bringing
the sword at a full circle and crashing it down.Though
Nemo had seen it coming, the speed was
incredible and he did not have to time to react.Getting
the sword knocked from his hands, he
was thrown back and crashed into another pile of the equipment.Listening to the sounds of the tinkling
screws and washers, Nemo sat up dazed.

Seeing that
only ten seconds had passed since they had begun to fight with the
swords, Nemo
was amazed.Surprisingly though, Nemo
did feel a refreshing wind of hope come blowing out the dust that had
settled
into his forgotten mind.Standing up he
walked over to his sword and picked it up once more."I can still say that I do not remember
you, but I must admit that first of all, you are bringing back my
memories, and
second of all, you really are good."

With that
said, she smiled and brought her sword up to attack again.

Following
the same motion, Nemo held his forward and was getting ready to run
forward but
stopped as he heard an explosion.Catching
his balance from his false start of attacking,
Nemo halted and
stood directly up.

Drawing
both of their attention to the stairs, Nemo gasped as soldiers from HQ
poured
down the stairs, through the barrier, and surrounded the girl.Completely geared as if going against a tank;
the soldiers all held large shoulder taser guns, wore face masks and
body gear.

Confused
Nemo stepped back away from them.Who
had called HQ?And if no one had, how
did they know there was someone had invaded his outpost.

"You
have the right to remain silent,” one of the officers stated as he
pointed the
gun at her."Put your weapon down
and lay completely flat on the floor with your hands on your head."

Cornered
against the wall, with the suited animals completely around her, she
did not
seem worried and smiled.Though opposite
of her reactions, which Nemo was worried, he was still completely
confused; this
whole situation was very strange.

Seeing that
she would not put her weapon down, the one that was talking stated,”
Fine, have
it your way."

Pulling the
trigger of his gun, he called out in surprise as it fell apart in his
hands.

"MEN
GET HER," he exclaimed in anger.

They all
pulled their triggers, but their guns fell apart, while one of them
made a
small explosion, throwing up a puff of smoke.Still
keeping their formation, the commander stepped back
and gasped,
"Turning towards Nemo he called, "This is an order Agent; disarm her
and get her NOW!"

Stepping
back, Nemo hesitated as to the fact that this did not feel right.He knew that he did not know who this girl
was, but she brought back memories...and she also did not seem like a
dangerously
evil threat.On top of that, it was
completely forbidden, even in extreme circumstances, for anyone from HQ
to
contact or even travel to the agent outposts.Obviously
it would risk their cover being blown.

"DO IT
NOW," He screamed at Nemo.

Deciding
his answer Nemo looked boldly back at the commander."No," he stated."This is not
right.Where is your warrant to even enter
my
Outpost?"

"You
fool," said a slightly distant voice as it chuckled.

Turning his
attention to the stairs, Nemo watched as all the men, who were still
surrounding
the girl looked in eager anticipation at the bottom of the stairs.

"There
is no warrant needed to enter your house."

Nemo
cringed as he now recognized the voice.Turning
the corner, Nemo watched as the figure, which had
just
teleported through the matter transporter, came into view.
